Challenge: Portrait of a Camera (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-40D
Lens: Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0L USM
Date: May 18, 2008
Aperture: F16
ISO: 100
Shutter: 2.5
Galleries: Still Life, Black and White
Date Uploaded: May 18, 2008

 Praktica PLC3 specification from 1979 catalogue: Full aperture TTL metering by exclusive Electric Diaphragm Control system. Steel-bladed vertical focal-plane shutter with 'noise-damping' synchronising to 1/125th second with electronic flash. Brighter, high-contrast split-image rangefinder screen. Plus and minus indication of exposure in viewfinder. Built-in accessory shoe with hot-shoe connection and co-axial socket for extended work. Shutter speeds from 1 second to one-thousandth second, and B. Delayed action mechanism. Rapid wind-on lever. Modern restyled body design.

I loved taking this out of it's box so much that I am considering sticking it in my camera bag and carrying it with me along with the 40D!

Very basic editing: converted to B&W, slight levels adjustment, resized, sharpened and saved!

No idea what this will acheive but am fully expecting my love of negative space to hit me where it hurts (again) :o(

I loved the black and white tones in this. Also thought it was cute to have the camera peeking from the corner.

Well looky here... aren't we just all "lah-dee-dah" with our fancy shmancy negative space and picture perfect crisp image all at an angle going, "Oh look at me, look at me. I'm on an angle". You just think you're so smart with your, like, focus and everything. Well... fine then.

I like this idea... it would make a great poster, as it is very dramatic.

Nicely composed and nice and clear and well lit, but it doesn't really present a new or unique view of this camera.

I'm not voting, but if I were, I would not give this anything less than an 8. I like the strong lines and the composition in this . Very strong graphic image.

I like to crop and the negative space, though it might be just a bit much negative space. Still a cool idea.

Clean and simple. This is maybe the best in the challenge, good use of negative space and the camera is tack sharp.
